Holy shit this looks boring

 

[Dr. Suchong]

Couldn't finish the first game.
The "Humour" fell flat for me, and the game was full of dull, whinging characters.
By the looks of this sequel, it hasn't bucked the trend.

 

[Ozzie666]

I mean it looks like a game designed with game pass consumption in mind. It's not terrible, it's just middle ground with a unique art style.

Anyone who doesn't believe game pass changes game development needs to wake up.

What you didn't like setting up the mechanic lady with the scientist lady so she could not have sex with her?

 

[MidGenRefresh]

If I had to describe this game in one word, it would be "castrated."

 

[Seomel]

Ill try this for free free if it wont have denuvo, otherwise im not interested until deep sale. First was was barely ok, some good choice options and level design in some places, but gunplay etc was ass

 

[Laptop1991]

I liked the 1st game but i wasn't impressed with what i've just seen in that video, The Outer Worlds 1 was a AA game made by Private Division and this is the sequel after Microsoft bought it and upgraded it to a so called triple A status! , it actually looks worse in places than the 1st game and looks more cartoony than the TOW 1 as well, i hope that's just a bad video because i wouldn't pay 40 quid for it let alone 70 or 80. and the gameplay wasn't that good either.

 

[Negotiator101]

Modern writing is so damn cringe. Put that shit right next to something properly written like KCD2 and it's even sadder.

This is satire though, it's certainly not taking itself seriously.

 

[Germuso]

There was a hole here now it's a holyshit

 

[vaibhavpisal]

Looks about as expected.

Personally would prefer Obsidian explore some deeper themes and more interesting subject matter.

But its a space rpg, so will take it.

 

[GymWolf]

It can't be worse than the first shit game...

 

[MidGenRefresh]

It can't be worse than the first shit game...

It doesn't get better than a girl boss slapping an incompetent man.

 

[The Skull]

Couldn't get past the first hour in the original. Bag of shite. Can't see this being much better.

 

[winjer]

This thing is probably going to be even worse than Avowed.
It's sad to see a studio like Obsidian die like this.

I don't know. Starfield at least resembles a space RPG, but this is some kind of techno-fantasy.

 

[Bkdk]

Almost certain flop, obsidian is lucky that they still have grounded to generate some steady income and have one last shot on new vegas remaster for singleplayer rpg.

 

[GymWolf]

Mid-high 70s metacritic written all over this one

First one got a 85 even if it was like a 6 at best, journalists love male feminist communist wet dream type of games, i can see this thing scoring an 87-88.

 

[vaibhavpisal]

I don't know. Starfield at least resembles a space RPG, but this is some kind of techno-fantasy.

I have seen some biomes that are quite different from each other.

Hopefully its convincing of exploring diverse planets.

 

[Cakeboxer]

I liked the first part. Not a milestone in the gaming industry, but very entertaining. The second one for €49.99 and non-woke would have been the right step tho.

 

[acm2000]

That looks...pretty outdated.

Is this the one they wanted to charge $80 for?

what do graphics have to do with pricing? have you seen the price of mario kart world?

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Ah yes, quipping about personal trauma will get the Strong Female Character to join your crew!

It's just so damn awful. I can't stand this modern tripe writing.

I can't remember who said it in a video I watched yesterday but the basis was that we need a common sense department that goes through scripts and nudges this crud out..

A reverse Sweet Baby, in a sense.

Or just hire some actual talent..

Somethings got to give at some point. If even a die hard 'buy everything' fool like me has lost interest in most new AAA, well, I can see why they're in trouble.

 

[ecosse_011172]

Looks good but not outstanding, will go in the Game Pass queue behind Oblivion.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Man, this is not looking as good as the first game did for me at the same time frame.

I guess because it's going to be on Hampass it may get some play but you could not look more generic and stereotypical of what a Bethesda/Western RPG can look like.

Hampass, I could get behind that.

 

[CentralScrutinizer]

This entire generation can be summed up by the following statement: "who the hell asked for more of this?"

This can be applied to both PS5 and XSX and I hope it doesn't also apply to Switch 2 in the coming years.

 

[Gonzito]

"Residual trauma"

 

[Team Andromeda]

Looks fab, can't wait . Another brilliant month on GamePass

 

[Heisenberg007]

Looks like a mediocre, ugly, outdated game ever since the first showing.

 

[Skifi28]

Another brilliant month on GamePass

It's been an......interesting month for gamepass to say the least.

 

[mèx]

What the fuck happened to Obsidian.

How do they go from Tyranny and Pillars of Eternity II to... this.

I still hope it's not a complete disaster but a decent RPG at least.
